Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) It is the result of an agreement among the federating units.
Indian federalism did not emerge from a treaty among sovereign states; the Constitution proclaims India a ‘Union of States’, so option (d) is not a feature. An independent judiciary, a constitutional division of powers, and unequal representation of States in the Rajya Sabha are all recognised federal features, making options (a), (b) and (c) correct.
